doh · January 22, 2009 1:11AM

Not me. Thanks for the thread

collegecoincollector · January 22, 2009 1:12AM

haha great idea. i can not afford a thousand dollar coin for several more years most likely unless i get very lucky

STONE · January 22, 2009 1:12AM

I'm gonna pass, regrettably.
I've never bought anything from our good ole' US Mint, but this is one I would consider.

BBQnBLUES · January 22, 2009 1:13AM

Would rather own the REAL thang over some modern mint "tribute" piece !

291fifth · January 22, 2009 1:14AM

Modern "tribute" junk.

Got a daughter's wedding to pay for, not in the budget!

Whitby · January 22, 2009 1:17AM

oh hell no

jmj3esq · January 22, 2009 1:17AM

Not buying here. Probably will regret it, though, as profits will likely be made.

SilverEagles92 · January 22, 2009 1:20AM

For all of you that say it's tribute junk...

HATER-ADE!

JedPlanchet · January 22, 2009 1:24AM

Not buying the coin, but I may get the book separately in the aftermarket - if it's not too pricey ...

lope208 · January 22, 2009 1:25AM

Does it count if I'm only attempting an order to flip it to MCM?

I don't personally want one

TrustNo1 · January 22, 2009 1:29AM

what about those of us who still havent decided??

You've got 32 minutes.

OKbustchaser · January 22, 2009 1:31AM

Not me. I have no desire to own the original, why would I want a copy?

2manycoins2fewfunds · January 22, 2009 1:34AM

I already have enough paper weights.

fc · January 22, 2009 1:37AM

tis bullion. if i wanted ~1 oz of gold i would pay melt for it plus
a minor premium. otherwise no thanks.

pheh · January 22, 2009 1:38AM

I won't be buying... two.

jessewvu · January 22, 2009 1:45AM

are you kidding? I have my iphone up, my laptop up, my desktop up, and my house phone up ordering these for my peeps

JCMhouston · January 22, 2009 1:47AM

Nope, I bought a 1723 (c over ss) Shilling in MS63 instead, and a couple of others.

guitarwes · January 22, 2009 1:48AM

<< tis bullion. if i wanted ~1 oz of gold i would pay melt for it plus

Now, do you consider the 1907 UHR bullion also? If so, why are they multiples upon multiples of spot? Maybe in 2107 I can retire when I sell mine 2009 UHR.

Tried calling the Mint....FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!

the internet is always faster now that they have upgraded their servers.

IrishMike · January 22, 2009 1:57AM

Only if someone sends me 2K to buy it for them.

coolest · January 22, 2009 2:01AM

It is a pretty coin but I can wait a few years or months when I can pick one up for melt.

Silverstate · January 22, 2009 2:06AM

Mint website is crawling!!

Tootawl · January 22, 2009 2:11AM

I'm passing on this one.

GritsMan · January 22, 2009 2:15AM

I want it, but like many, can't swing it. Will have to wait to see how the paychecks go in the next few months. Am surprised so many are passing, though!

Silverstate · January 22, 2009 2:25AM

Finally got one. 12:19 est
Looks like 1/28/09 for shipping.
My order said Backordered.

OnlyGoldIsMoney · January 22, 2009 2:30AM

Not for me. The newest gold coin I have is dated 1907 and that is not likely going to change.

i have no idea why coin collectors are willing to part massive amounts
of money for small objects that are ONLY 100 years old. go figure.

I do think the FS UHR will forever be worth a premium...if PCGS is holdering them??? Also, the 1st year "gold" UHR will always bring a premium because the rest will be made of palladium.

moonshine · January 22, 2009 2:40AM

I might not be -if I get backordered too long - been hitting redial for 36 mins. - website won't load.

eyoung429 · January 22, 2009 2:56AM

Heck no.....

dsessom · January 22, 2009 2:56AM

I wont be...

Because I CANT AFFORD IT!

Like I said on another thread, I just can't bring myself to plop down that much cash on a single coin. I guess I am a cheapskate, but I tend to buy several less expensive pieces rather than getting one pricey one.

Billet7 · January 22, 2009 2:57AM

It is nice looking, which is the only reason I would have it, it is really the only bullion I have even looked at...but no, I'll pass.

etexmike · January 22, 2009 2:58AM

Gonna pass on this one also.

Mike

I think you are missing some golden opportunities by avoiding the modern commemorative, the Buffaloes included.

RBinTex · January 22, 2009 3:10AM

I'll wait for the secondary market instead of dealing with the mint.

mbogoman · January 22, 2009 3:11AM

Well, apparently not me. I want one, but the mint won't allow me to checkout...

droopyd · January 22, 2009 4:02AM

<< Would rather own the REAL thang over some modern mint "tribute" piece ! >>

ChrisRx · January 22, 2009 4:04AM

It IS just bullion and the premium is too high... @1200 its over 300 spot. I will wait until they go to 2k on ebay then drop back down to spot (800ish)

shark1970 · January 22, 2009 4:09AM

300,000 mintage

that's just a mere $300 million plus for one modern issue sucked out of the market

that's at mint cost of course

if I buy one coin and make even $200, which is a lot it looks like,

I'm sure gonna loose more money than that on existing inventory,
suffering from less interest due to new interest on an overpriced modern issue.

AnkurJ · January 22, 2009 4:30AM

Not me, can't afford to right now

Clawdia · January 22, 2009 5:38AM

I'm not even tempted - price is too high for something with an unlimited mint possibility.

I'd rather have Buffs, if I want to pay too much for something.

Bayard1908 · January 22, 2009 5:39AM

I think the coin is interesting; however, I'm not buying. For $1100 I can buy other coins that I'd much rather own, and I have no interest in flipping.

percyb · January 22, 2009 5:47AM

I was, then I wasn't, then I did....

rpw · January 22, 2009 6:17AM

I went so far as to put one in my shopping cart and at checkout I decided not to because the premium is just too much. I'll pick one up later.
